Books Whose Film Adaptation Has a Different Name

Here is a list of books and the film adaption of that book with a different name. (Some of these books also have other adaptions with the same name.) At the bottom of the list are two films, Bedknobs & Broomsticks and How To Deal, which, I discovered, are each based on two books with different names!
